Frankly, I'm surprised this is the only issue you bring up (I had many, when I first tried Nim several years ago - I think they were related to cross-platform GUI libraries for Nim, or the lack of them, or their awful state back then).

But LSP as a major concern? For me these little helpers are useful to catch small typos but I could happily do without them.

It's not just small typos, it's the ability to explore apis, the standard library, go to definition, quickly catch any error at the location it happens, not having to memorize large models and their field names, the list goes on.

I can work without an LSP, but when I'm searching for a new language that would be used by a team (including Junior devs) it's hard to justify something missing the basics of good DX. I haven't tried it with Cursor though, it might be less of a dealbreaker at this point.

How do you navigate through a project with things like `go to definition` or `incoming calls`? (given that we are talking about a relatively large code base maintained by more that one or two individuals)

You can do it with just rg or something similar but it will give you many false positives and are going to waste quite some time.
